I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Autonomous Systems and Computer Vision and Active Perception Laboratory at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. My research and scientific interests are centered around the development of spatial understanding mechanisms for artificial mobile agents. In particular, my current work focuses on multi-modal place classification and semantic mapping as well as active semantic perception and exploitation of semantic information for generating efficient robot behavior.

In June 2011, I received my Ph.D. degree from KTH. My dissertation is entitled Semantic Mapping with Mobile Robots and together with accompanying videos is available here. From 2006 to 2008, I was part of the EU integrated project CoSy. Currently, I am involved in the research activities of the CogX EU project.
